How many SEC Ranters think Nick Saban will be at Alabama for 5 or more years?

This has nothing to do with ACL's opinion of him actually staying another 5 years, I just want to get a rough count from posters of all fanbases who think he will stay or go. Here's a little look at Saban's Head Coaching career:

- Toledo Rockets (NCAA): 1990
- Michigan State Spartans (NCAA): 1995-1999
- LSU Tigers (NCAA): 2000-2004
- Miami Dolphins (NFL): 2005-2006
- Alabama Crimson Tide: 2007-present

By looking at his coaching history, it looks as if he's close to moving on to another school or team. He could stay, or he might not. Noone can tell the future aside from FootballNostradamus.

Dr Elko said he and Terri are happier then he has ever seen them and seems like they have found a purpose to being in Ttown outside of Football.

Depends if he gets a pay raise to go somewhere else

I think he'll settle down though in 'Bama.

Toledo < Sparty < LSU < any NFL HC job.

He moved up the ladder. People try to paint him as the football version of Larry Brown, but that really isn't the case at all. None of his moves have been lateral, and he left the NFL because he didn't like it.

Saban will finish out his contract (it runs out in 2017) and then ride off into the sunset.

I can agree with this. And then, in some people's opinion (not anyone specific), if Texas threw him a ton of money, it would be considered another climb up the ladder. He would pretty much run the Big12 within a couple of years just like he did at Bama due to the ease of recruiting there. Finding a QB would be his only problem to start off.

they were pretty happy in BR. He won't be at bama for long. I won't be surprised he will be at Texas in a few years.

that and he's 60 now. I think most people have accepted that its more likely that he'll stay at Alabama. He certainly isn't showing any signs of looking to move on.

Exactly. All of his previous job changes have been for greener pastures.

Why are LSU and Auburn fans so intimidated by the guy? Their fans are acting like they have no chance at beating Alabama as long as Saban is there.

he is good for the conference, but I wouldn't say LSU isn't intimated by the guy. Lot of boiled up hate for him(not me) coming back to the conference to coach at LSU's most hated rival. If anything we would love to beat his arse in the ground every year.
